Ep.28 - Lab Experiments with Jim Tucker

Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined on The 8-9 Combo by renowned Australian rugby writer and author, noted tourist and regular friend of the pod, the great Jim Tucker, to look back on the second round of The Rugby Championship and the lessons learned for the Wallabies, as they gear up for a now very important tour of Argentina.

The tour comes at a crucial point for the Wallabies and new coach Joe Schmidt; after three wins in July followed by heavy losses to South Africa, Schmidt takes his Australian squad to South America next weekend where wins are necessary but certainly not guaranteed after Los Pumas themselves had an up-and-down tour of New Zealand. Is it more pain, or finally some gain for the Wallabies?

Also, Harry is introduced to that fine Australian publication, The Betoota Advocate!
